[pianotech] Humbly questioning choice of words, was Re: Totally glueless

[Dale Erwin]

In Thumps context, I think/believe the word accept would have been a good choice.

At this point I'm bowing out of the discussion, Ron. Why it is that you 
refuse to (accept) believe that both phenomena may be at play in the excitement 
of a soundboard so that it emits an audible tone ( and so both phenomena 
contribute to it) I do not know.

Ron,
      
      Please consider using "faith" where you have been using      "belief".   According to Webster, belief is "conviction of the      truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon      esp. when based on examination of evidence" (emphasis      mine), whereas "faith implies certitude and full trust and      confidence in the source whether there be objective evidence or      not".   
      
      Perhaps there is a better word than "belief" for a conviction      based on examination of evidence - what term do you prefer?
      
      thanks
      
      Mike

      It's possible, but lacking evidence, belief is all there is. I've      given reasons and figures for what I think. You may believe      anything you like. I prefer something rational.
